Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351: Vanished? (Part 1)
“Master Nun, please stay!” Ye Haochuan shouted loudly.
Considering that this old nun was Jiang Shuying’s mentor, Ye Haochuan spoke very politely.
Unfortunately, upon hearing these words, the old nun didn’t stop; instead, she flew even faster.
Damn it, what kind of cultivation does this old fellow have to be so fast?
Ye Haochuan cursed silently in his heart.
At his current speed, ordinary Core Formation Peak cultivators might not be able to catch up. But even so, facing this old nun, he still felt somewhat powerless.
In just a few breaths, the distance between him and the old nun had widened by nearly a kilometer.
Ye Haochuan suddenly panicked. Having finally found Jiang Shuying, how could he let her go so easily?
“Great Yan Step!”
“Communicating with God Treasure Order!”
With the blessing of the Communicating with God Treasure Order, Ye Haochuan doubled the speed of the Great Yan Step, quickly closing the distance with the three of the old nun.
The old nun suddenly turned back and glanced at Ye Haochuan with a hint of disdain in her eyes. In the next second, her speed increased once more, widening the distance again.
Damn, I’ve already used such methods, yet I still can’t catch up. What cultivation does this old fellow have? How terrifying!
Ye Haochuan was shocked, hastily calling out, “Master Nun, I have something to say to Shuying. Please stop for a moment and let me finish my words before leaving!”
His voice spread far but did not cause the slightest ripple.
Seeing that dealing with the old nun was not working, Ye Haochuan quickly changed his target and continued to shout, “Shuying, I know you still hate me. I really didn’t do it on purpose back then. Rest assured, I will take responsibility for you!”
As soon as these words came out, tears immediately streamed down Jiang Shuying’s eyes.
“Master, please stop!”
Upon hearing this, the old nun’s expression stiffened. She said in a deep voice, “Tie Shu, don’t be deceived by his sweet words. When you were trapped by the landslide, desperately calling for help, did he ever appear? When you went to find him full of expectations, where was he? Have you forgotten all these things?”
Hearing these words, Jiang Shuying’s delicate body suddenly froze. Memories from back then rushed into her mind again, causing her tears to overflow nonstop.
After being wronged by Ye Haochuan, she followed her parents back to her hometown. After about two months there, a landslide suddenly occurred at her hometown, not only taking the lives of her parents but almost claiming hers as well.
At that time, she desperately hoped Ye Haochuan would come to rescue them. Such a disaster would definitely make the news first, and she believed Ye Haochuan could see it.
Unfortunately, she never awaited Ye Haochuan’s appearance. At the last moment when her life was about to end, her current mentor showed up and rescued her.
Back then she was still unwilling and specifically went to the Phoenix Pavilion to find Ye Haochuan. But when she arrived, the Phoenix Pavilion was empty, devoid of any sign of life.
Perhaps Ye Haochuan had a thousand explanations for these two events. But in Jiang Shuying’s heart, in her most desperate moment, Ye Haochuan’s absence was unforgivable.
From that moment on, Jiang Shuying decided to follow the old nun.
Thinking of this, she stopped speaking, simply letting her tears flow endlessly. No one knew whether these tears were for her painful past experiences or for Ye Haochuan’s current relentless pursuit.
Ye Haochuan had no idea that Jiang Shuying went through so much during this period. When things happened to Jiang Shuying, he was already in the Imperial Capital.
Seeing that calling out was of no use, he couldn’t be bothered to continue, focusing all his energy on speed. Luckily, with the Divine Artifact Perspective Eyes, even being left far behind, he could still clearly see the figures of the three in front.
But in the next second, he was dumbfounded.
The three in the old nun’s party paused for a moment at a location, then suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“What happened?”
Ye Haochuan hurried over, using the Perspective Eyes multiple times, yet found nothing.
It was only then he noticed that this place was identical to the location where Little Lei’s presence vanished before.
“Could it be that this place really connects to a dimension world? But there’s no teleportation array here, how did they go inside?” Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows, pondering hard.
“Could it be that the old nun also has a Gate of the World?”
The more Ye Haochuan thought about it, the more possible it seemed. In his understanding, only the Gate of the World could allow entry into a dimension world without a teleportation array.
However, there shouldn’t be too many Gates of the World. If the old nun does have one, could she have been the one who took Little Lei last time?
Ye Haochuan’s thoughts were scattered, but no matter how he speculated, there was no way to confirm anything at the moment.
“Without the Gate of the World, I can’t enter. Looks like I have to wait for them to come out next time to find them!”
Luckily, the old nun seemed to treat Shuying fairly well, so he didn’t need to worry about her safety.
Feeling quite regretful, Ye Haochuan immediately called An Li, asking her to keep an eye on the spot at all times. As soon as someone came out, she should notify him immediately.
After giving those instructions, Ye Haochuan returned to the pedestrian street to find Yang Hong.
But upon finding Yang Hong, he also saw another familiar figure.
“Yushan, darling, what are you doing here?” Looking at the graceful figure in front of him, Ye Haochuan said sheepishly.
“I’m here to work on a case, unlike you, flirting around everywhere, hmph!” Chen Yushan snorted softly, clearly jealous.
“Elder sister, you misunderstood, I have nothing with him…” Yang Hong blushed, speaking hesitantly.
She intentionally wanted to remain hidden from Ye Haochuan, not wanting to make things difficult for him because of her presence. But saying that left her heart with an inexplicable sense of loss.
Hearing this, Ye Haochuan was displeased and put his arm around her shoulder, saying, “Even the things that shouldn’t be done have been done, how can that be nothing? Don’t worry, my darling Yushan is very understanding and won’t be mad!”
After saying this, he didn’t forget to wrap his other arm around Chen Yushan’s waist, chuckling, “Right, darling Yushan?”
“Understanding, my foot!” Chen Yushan let out a delicate snort and stomped on Ye Haochuan’s toe.
The heel of her high heel shoes was sharp, so one can imagine the power of her stomp. Caught by surprise, Ye Haochuan immediately grinned in pain.
Releasing Ye Haochuan’s arm, Chen Yushan did not actually leave but pulled the shyly head-bowed Yang Hong, saying, “This bad guy is really lucky to find such a great beauty like you.”
“Ah?” Yang Hong was a bit stunned and quickly waved her hands, “I’m not as pretty as you, sister. Don’t worry, I’ll try to limit my time with him…”
“What are you saying? We’re all good sisters from now on, we must unite and not let this bad guy bully us!” Chen Yushan said this, glaring at Ye Haochuan at the same time.
It seemed Chen Yushan had completely let go after several interactions with Ye Haochuan’s other women.
Seeing that Chen Yushan was not angry, Yang Hong’s face instantly relaxed, smiling and nodding.
Afterward, the two women hooked arms, leaving Ye Haochuan alone on the side.
“Ahem~” Ye Haochuan coughed awkwardly and suddenly asked, “Darling Yushan, what case are you on exactly?”
Mentioning the case, Chen Yushan’s expression immediately turned solemn, sighing, “A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage in this store’s restroom was drained of all his essential blood and spiritual energy. This is the eighth cultivator killed in the same manner in the last few days!”
“This store?” Ye Haochuan looked in the direction of Chen Yushan’s gaze and realized she was referring to the store Jiang Shuying and her company just dined at.
Could they be connected to the murdered cultivator?
Doubts arose in Ye Haochuan’s heart.
